tem to digital angle measurements, introduce into Japanese EDM sys-
tem and adopt laser phases measurement system to measure distance.
It can measure distance not only with prism but also with reflective
sheet, so much as it can work without cooperate objective. It can
achieve measurement, calculating, display and storage etc. by means
of micro-computer-technology. It can display measuring results of
horizontal, vertical angle and distance at the same time. Furthermore,
it can work in many mode, for example angle measurement mode or
coordinate mode and so on.

espe-cially for every construction area. It can be used in coordinate
mea-surement or location measurement for construction, remote
elevation measurement, plumb line surveying, ductwork surveying
and sec-tional
surveying etc . It als o can be used in triangulation control survey,
cadastral surveying, topographic surveying and house property
surveying.

3.9 Vertical Angle Tilt Correction

When the tilt sensors are activated, automatic correction of vertical
angle for mislevelment is displayed.
To ensure a precis e angle measurement, tilt sensors must be turned
on. The display can also be used to precise level the instrument. If the
(Tilt over) display appears the instrument is out of automatic
compensation range and must be leveled manually.
The display of vertical angle is unstable when instrument is on an un-
stable stage or a win dy day. You can turn off the aut o tilt correct ion
function of V angle in this case.

Focus the target with the focusing knob.

If parallax is creat ed between th e corss hairs and the targ et when
your eyes mo ve vertically or horizon tally, focusing is inco rrect or di-

opter adjustment is poor. This affects precision in measurement. Elimi-

nate the parallax by carefully focusing and using diopter adjustment.

This mode is useful when it is difficult to set up the prism directly, for
example at the center of a pole(A). Place the prism at the same horizon-tal
distance from the insturment as (B). To measure the coordinates of the
center p osition (A), operate th e offset measurement after setting the
instrument height/prism height. Refer to 5.3offset measurement Make sure

7. Layout
Layout mode has two functions which are setting of layou t points and
setting new points us ing coordinate data in the internal memory. Also,
if th e coordin ate data is not st ored in the internal memory, this can be
in put from key bo ard . Th e co ord inat e d ata is load ed from PC to t he
in ternal memory via RS232C.
The coordinate data
The coordinat e data is memorized into a file, th e memory has three re-
corded parts, on e is for measured data, another is for coordinate data,
and the third part is for PCODE data.
For the internal memory, refer to Chapter 11Memory Manager Mode
The number of coordinate data
(In case not using t he internal memory in t he data collect mode), max.
8000 points. Becuase the internal memo ry covers both data collection
mode and layout mode, the number of coordinate data will be decreased
when th e data collection mode is used.

1)Wh en turning off the power, ensure that y ou are in the main menu
screen or main angle measurement mode. This ensures completion of
the memory access process and avoids possible damage of the stored
data.
2) It is recommended for safety to charge th e battery beforehan d and
prepared fully charged spare batteries.
3)When recording new point data, remember to consider the amount
of internal memory.

8. Data collection
The 600 is able to store the measured data into the internal
memory. The internal memory is s hared by the measured data
files and the coordinate data files.
Meas ured d ata: Th e collected d ata is memorized int o a files.
The number of measurement points: ( In case no t using the
internal memory in layou t mo de)
MAX. 4000 p oint s.
Because the internal memory covers both data collection mode and
lay-out mo de, the number of meas urement p oints will be decreased
when the layout mode is used.

1)When turning off the power, ensure that you are in the basic
measurement mode. This ensures completion of the memory
access process and avoids possible damage to the stored data.
2)It is recommended for safety to charge the battery beforehand
and prepare fully charged spare batteries.

13. Check and adjustment

13.1 Checking and adjusting of instrument constant
Instrument constant means additive constant for distance
measurement. Normally, the instrument constant doesnt have error. It
is recommended you meas ure an d compare with an accurately
measured baseline one consistent ground. If such a baseline is not
available, establish your own base line over 20m and compare the data
measured with the newly pur-chased instrument.
In cas e, th e in st rumen t setup , th e prism, baselin e precision , po or
collimation, atmos pheric correction, correction for refraction and
earth curvature determine the inspection precision.
Als o, wh en providing a base line indoor, the following procedure as
shown below could be used to check the instrument constant.
(1) Provide point B on a straight line AC, which is almost level and
about 100m long. Measure straight lines AB, AC and BC.

AB BC

A B C

AC

(2) Obtain the instrument constant by repeat measurement,
Instrument constant =AB+BC-AC
(3) When there is error between written ins trument constant value and
calculated value, only need to synt hesize the in strument const ant
and prism constant, an d then inpu t the synth esized data in prism co
nstant form, please refer to7.3.1 Setting of the prism constant.
(4) Once again, measure at a calibrated baseline and compare results. (5)If
using above procedure a difference of over 5mm is found, the instru-ment
constant need reset as the operating procedure on next page.
